2 Techniques with video; Starburst & Masking!


I made these technique cards on a Facebook Live in July and I know not everyone is on Facebook.  So I'm posting it here for you too. I offer a FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT and one the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT all using current Stampin' Up! products.  Join me here. 

I had a request to teach the Starburst technique and came up with this easy version. 

I used the unique and colorful Artistry Blooms designer paper from the Annual Catalog along with the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins.  The link to the videos is below but here are the basics: 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White CS 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Artistry Blooms DSP – cut 5 strips measuring 1 1/2" X 5" and then cut these in half on the diagonal.  Now mix and match them to the 4" X 5 1/4" piece leaving a tiny bit of space between them.  

I added greetings and die-cuts from the Tasteful Touches bundle seen here. 

Here are the other cards I made using the masking technique and the Tasteful Touches stamp set.


Which do you prefer?  Yellow or pink?

Here's a link to the video on Facebook.  Click below to watch it on YouTube.

  • There’s a lot happening in July – here’s the list of the Stampin’ Up! and my specials!


    Summer can be a quiet month for stampers in the north – we finally get a chance to enjoy the outdoors without snow. But I imagine in the south it's time to gather indoors!  Isn't our world wonderfully diverse?

  • Greetings of the Season fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    I'm loving the new Season of Green & Gold suite of projects that was released in the Online Exclusives this month.  Check them all out here. There are tons of online extras that are not seen in any printed catalog. 

    Today's card is gorgeous if I do say so myself!  It features the new Greetings of the Season stamp & die bundle and this gorgeous Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper. 

    The card is a simple fold back with an extra layer added for the designer paper. It also has a textured layer on the left front fold as well.  Lots of great but simple additions that puts it over the top. 

    Look at the greeting here: The new Greetings of the Season stamp set is loaded with stand alone and builder sentiments.  

    The focus of my projects was the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper and the new Season of Greetings stamp & die bundle seen here. 

    The stamp set is fabulous but look at the dies! Each one has a hole for ribbon or twine. But look at the sample above; they didn't use them at all. 

    I shared two versions in my video; one with a gold printed piece of DSP on the front and the other with a striped one. Which do you prefer? 

    There is a bundle of stamps & dies that coordinate with this designer paper but I didn't order them yet. I fussy cut the greenery & bells for my projects. 


    Here's a photo of this beautiful designer paper; I will be featuring it in an upcoming kit to go.

    Below is the video for this card and an easy Dutch Door fold card; both using this beautiful Season of Green & Gold suite collection seen here.

  • Season of Green & Gold Dutch Door card with free project sheet


    I shared this pretty Dutch Door card on last week's FB Live video. You can also see it here or scroll down a bit and click on the video.  

    Today's card is a Dutch Door card fold made with Mossy Meadow & White CS. 

    If you've never made a Dutch Door fold I hope you try it once you see how easy they are.  It's a quarter sheet of CS in the back and a full long piece that's scored in half adhered to that.  See how it opens?

    The focus of my projects was the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper and the new Season of Greetings stamp & die bundle seen here. 

    Below are both versions I made and shared in the video below. One has a layer of the pretty Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP on the upper portion.  Which do you prefer? 

    There is a bundle of stamps & dies that coordinate with this designer paper but I didn't order them yet. I fussy cut the greenery & bells for my projects. The squares are dies from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.
